Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"wrong……"

"If it's him... why did he investigate the clerk's disappearance with me back then, and why did he pretend not to know that the culprit was Duke Hades?" Estella was even more puzzled.

"Obviously not!"

Yan Huan complained to Estella in her arms:

"Does my dear Screwgoum seem like that kind of bad guy? Why don't you suspect that plaster-headed guy!"

“Mr. Latio…?” Estella blinked:

"So, you think he knows who the culprit is but hesitates to reveal the truth?"

"I don't think... he had any reason to do that."

Yan Huan put Aista down and said disdainfully:

"Who knows if he's mentally ill? Besides him, who else on the space station would be so free?"

"When they were in the confined compartment, he just watched Yinzhi go in to deliver it, and he didn't care at all."

Aista stared at Yan Huan:

"So, are we safe now?"

Estelle looked at the ghostly flames dancing in the sky and asked curiously:

"Is it under control now?"

"Pretty much, since it's run out of energy and can only spit people out." Yan Huan said nonchalantly.

"Unless some lunatic is willing to channel energy into it, but even that won't help, as Grand Duke of Hellfire has withdrawn his own consciousness."

"Unless the energy provider also wants to use this ghost fire for some other purpose."

"Aren't you going to catch it?" Estella's eyes widened.

"What if it burns something while flying around like this?"

"How could that be?" Yan Huan blinked.

"It's good that it's burned out. Let that little blue flame show itself to everyone. That will make it much easier for you to explain later, won't it?"

"Everyone saw you fall out of its teleportation hole just now, so you can't accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, can you?"

Hearing Yan Huan's words, Aista suddenly felt that they made a lot of sense.

"My goodness, Mr. Yan Huan, you've thought of everything so thoroughly!"

"Then let's let this flame fly for a while longer."

As the ghost fire rampaged through the space station, the staff members immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Well... it really is the Netherfire Gang on official business. They really don't do anything right!"

"See? Station Master Estád also fell out of there. How could there be a conspiracy theory? Pepe is in there too!"

"We can't let Peipei lead the way in criticizing her own master, can we?"

"What if they have a long-standing grudge against their master?"

"Hilarious, can a dog type and curse?"

Soon, as planned by Estádio and Yan Huan, the Netherfire flew to every corner of the space station.

Yan Huan also received a communication from Luo Sigumu.

"Mr. Yan Huan, please leave the recovery of the Netherfire to me."

"Huh...?" Yan Huan held the phone to her ear, puzzled.

"Didn't you say I was in charge of making the arrest? I'm quick."

"...I'll do it now."

"No, I would not have such a thought, Mr. Yan Huan."

Screw Gum smiled on the other end of the communication:

"I have other considerations. Anyway, thank you for your investigation."

"Now, please get some rest."

Immediately afterward, Screws hung up the phone.

"...?" Estelle asked, puzzled.

"What's wrong? What did Screwgoum say?"

"He said you don't need to be the stationmaster anymore." Yan Huan looked at Aista with a troubled expression.

"With such a big incident on the space station, Ms. Black Tower seems a bit unhappy."

"W-what...how could this be?!" Estella was struck dumb, almost collapsing to the ground.

He then said disdainfully to Yan Huan:

"Who are you trying to fool? I heard the phone ringing just now. They were clearly telling you to rest, okay?"

"You heard it and you still asked? How free are you?!" Yan Huan retorted with disdain.

……

This is somewhere in the base section, and the ghost fire is floating here.

It was immediately taken by a man with a plastered head.

Suddenly, a sound came from behind him.

"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Ladio."

Screw Gum slowly emerged from the darkness and said in a deep voice:

"I never expected that you would be able to return to the Black Tower Space Station after being exiled by Mr. Yan Huan."

Chapter 592 Everyone's so bored they're practically begging for trouble

Doctor Truth, clutching the Netherfire in his palm, looked at the appearing Screw Gom and said in a deep voice:

"The aftermath of this incident has not yet subsided; you must still have many things to deal with, right?"

"Or are you saying that the safety of the space station is none of your business?"

Screw Gum speaks eloquently:

"Answer: That's exactly why I came here. After all, the real protagonist of this story is here."

"However...doesn't your clothing need some repairs?"

At this moment, Dr. Truth's clothes were tattered, especially his lower garments, which showed many signs of being torn.

His hair was a mess, as if he had just crawled back from some terrifying place.

"None of your business." Doctor Zhen frowned.

"...When did you start to doubt me?"

Screw Gum calmly replied:

"[People who engage in academic research often find it difficult to believe something. Conversely, it's much easier to question it.]"

“From the very beginning, Mr. Ladio, I had the same bad habits as you.”

"Hehe... I'm deeply honored, Mr. Screwgoom." Dr. Truth was quite curious:

"But since you've already seen through me, why have you remained silent? And why did you even ask Mr. Yan Huan to personally banish me?"

"Out of curiosity," Screw Gumm said calmly.

"Logic: I made the same decision as you: to go along and observe."

"Oh? And when did you become certain of that?"

Screw Gum's gaze was profound:

"As a result, aside from minor psychological trauma, no staff member suffered any substantial harm in the attack."

"This is not in line with the style of the Annihilation Gang."

"Because the incident happened suddenly, Mr. Yan Huan was only called to the conference room by you in the middle of the investigation, so it was not his doing."

"Logic: It was a third party who saved those clerks."

Dr. Truth was silent for a moment, then said calmly:

"If I hadn't accidentally obtained the Spirit Fire Seed and intervened in the transmission of the Netherfire, those people would have been space junk floating outside the window long ago."

"You are more honest than you are in calculations," ScrewGumm commented.

"It seems you also returned to the space station using the spark of the spirit fire."

"Otherwise what?" Doctor Truth said in a deep voice:

"I never imagined that everything would turn out exactly as you planned."

"Screwgoom, a genius like you, can you figure out why I did this?"

ScrewGumm thought for a moment and gave Doctor Truth his answer:

"I cannot be certain, but I can only make inferences: helping the weak is the benevolence of a doctor; standing idly by and letting things escalate is the sternness of a scholar."

"And to remain behind the scenes, controlling the overall situation, is..."

"They're just bored out of their minds!" Another figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

It was none other than Yan Huan, who wore a look of disdain.

"Huh? When did you get teleported here?" Doctor Truth asked, somewhat surprised.

"I didn't expect you to find this place too."

"My soul lock is still trapped in this hellfire." Yan Huan looked at Doctor Truth with disdain:

"I originally thought it would take you at least ten days to half a month to return to the space station, but I didn't expect to see you now."
